One would hope that a single metric would not be the basis for a termination.
One would hope that *that* metric wouldn't be involved. I routinely could have a couple ssh clients, an ftp client and one or two web browsers open... 2 x ssh = 2 tcp connections. 1 x ftp = 2 tcp connections, 1 command and 1 data. 1 x browser = potentially several connections, depending on how much content there is on the page I'm viewing. -- JustThe.net LLC - Steve "Web Dude" Sobol, CTO ICQ: 56972932/WebDude216 website: http://JustThe.net email: sjsobol@JustThe.net phone: 216.619.2NET postal: 5686 Davis Drive, Mentor On The Lake, OH 44060-2752 DalNet: ZX-2
